...Paulding describes an affair of the heart in very different vein. He, too, is subtle and sensitive, bat not a bit serious, and he makes us feel that his irresponsible hero is an actual human, attractive, normal Harvard undergraduate, a trivial person, no doubt, but far more appealing than the disembodied soul who suffers through the story by Mr. Wright.
